i need to find beat 'em ups..what should i search for?

[pragmatic insanester]

usually, i've been going by the standard "beat em up" as my search query on ebay. while it doesn't yield very much, most of the results are accurate. here are some other ideas i don't have as much luck with:

"like final fight", this gets me a million snes lots of final fight. bleh.

"like streets of rage", probably worse, as there's all collection carts too.

my main beef is how many damn emulation cds i get, or results with the searched words thrown in to yield more lookers without it having anything to do with the item(s).

have any of you found a better way to narrow down locating beat 'em ups on ebay?

Hmm....I'm not sure. I've never actually tried searching for games on ebay by typing in the genre. You could always try searching under "Brawlers" or maybe even "Arcade Fighters" considering many beat 'em ups are arcade ports. I dunno, give it a shot. :)

I think the only way you're gonna find games is with titles. Search on Google or whatever for lists & reviews, get the titles of games you want to play and search for them.
